Nut Topping
- ¼ cup butter
- ½ cup pistachios, roughly chopped
- ½ cup walnuts, roughly chopped
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons corn syrup
- Pinch of cinnamon
Cake
- 1 (14.25 oz) white cake mix
- 3 eggs
- ½ cup butter, melted
- 1 cup buttermilk
Honey Sauce
- ¾ cup sugar
- 2 teaspoons lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon water
- 1/3 cup honey
Preparation
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees F and thoroughly grease a standard bundt pan, then set aside.
- Topping: Add all topping ingredients to a small saucepan. Cook over medium heat for 2-3 minutes or until butter is fully melted and sugar has dissolved. Transfer mixture to the prepared bundt pan and spread evenly along the bottom.
- Cake: In a large bowl, combine all cake batter ingredients and whisk just until smooth. Gently pour batter on top of the nut mixture, then bake for 38-42 minutes or until an inserted toothpick comes out clean.
- Sauce: Start on the sauce as the cake bakes. In a small saucepan, combine sugar, lemon juice, and water and cook over medium heat for 4-5 minutes. Stir in honey and continue cooking for 1 additional minute. Set sauce aside to cool and thicken.
- Allow the cake to cool for about 12 minutes then invert onto your desired serving plate. Drizzle the cooled sauce over the top.
